Mia's POV

Wrong. All wrong.

I sat on the sofa, staring at the business card Lieutenant Walsh had left behind. The edges were crisp, the printing precise. Everything about it suggested order, procedure, systems functioning as they should.

But nothing about Richard's death felt orderly or procedural.

"It doesn't make sense, Gas," I whispered. "Not one bit."

My father was many things. He was manipulative, selfish, cruel when it suited him. But he had never struck me as suicidal. Quite the opposite. Richard Williams had been a survivor, clinging to advantage and opportunity with relentless determination. Even in prison, facing disgrace and a lengthy sentence, he had been looking for leverage.

Prison suicides. The phrase felt scripted, a convenient explanation for inconvenient deaths. Epstein. McAfee. People who knew too many secrets suddenly hanging themselves in their cells. Guards conveniently absent. Surveillance cameras mysteriously malfunctioning.

I pushed myself up from the sofa wit

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 301 How many husbands do you have?

    Mia's POV"Mom, can I have some coffee?" Alexander asked me during breakfast.I paused mid-sip, looking at my four-year-old son who was sitting across from me at our kitchen table. Ethan was beside him, methodically cutting his pancakes into precise squares, but I could tell he was listening to every word of this conversation."Children shouldn't drink coffee, sweetheart," I said, setting my mug down carefully.Alexander's face immediately scrunched up in that expression he got when he thought adults were being unreasonable. "But why? You drink it every morning.""Because coffee has caffeine, and caffeine isn't good for growing boys," I explained.Alexander clearly wasn't satisfied with that answer. He crossed his small arms. "That sounds like one of those excuses adults make when they don't want to explain the real reason."Ethan looked up from his geometric pancake arrangement. "Alexander's right, Mama. You always tell us to be curious and ask questions, but then sometimes you give

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 301 Hit sent

    Mia's POV"Morton," I said flatly. "It's six in the morning."Through the narrow gap allowed by the security chain, I could see him properly now. The split lip wasn't his only injury—there was a dark bruise forming along his left cheekbone, and his usually perfect hair was disheveled like he'd been running his hands through it all night.He looked like hell."Mia," he said, his voice hoarse. "I need to talk to you.""About what?" I kept my tone cold, uninterested. "If this is about Kyle—""It's about Scarlett."The name made me pause. Morton's eyes were bloodshot, the kind of exhaustion that came from not sleeping rather than drinking. His expensive suit was wrinkled, his tie missing entirely."What about Scarlett?"Morton winced as he spoke, the movement pulling at his split lip. "She hit me. Last night. And then she blocked my number, deleted me from everything. I can't reach her."I almost laughed. Almost."Good for her.""Mia, please—""No." I started to close the door, but Morton

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 300 Had something happened to Catherine?

    Mia's POVAlexander's small body felt cooler against my chest as I carried him back to the car. The fever medication had started working, bringing his temperature down .I secured both boys in their car seats, adjusting Alexander's seatbelt carefully around his limp form. His breathing was deeper now, more peaceful. The flush had faded from his cheeks, leaving him looking pale but no longer burning up.Ethan immediately reached across the space between their seats, his small fingers finding Alexander's hand. Even in sleep, Alexander's fingers curled around his brother's, their hands clasping together.I sat behind the steering wheel for a long moment, not starting the engine.The hospital parking garage was dimly lit, filled with the echo of footsteps and the distant sound of ambulances arriving at the emergency entrance. Through the concrete walls, I could hear the muffled chaos of the hospital continuing its never-ending work of healing and loss.The nurse's words kept replaying in

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 299 No immediate family

    Mia‘s POV"Alexander?Sweetheart, what are you doing out here?""I had a nightmare, Mama," he said in a small voice. "It was really scary, and I called for you, but you didn't come."I must have been in the shower and didn't hear him."I went to wake up Ethan, but he was sleeping like a log," Alexander continued, "He didn't even move when I poked him. So I had to come find you myself.""Oh, baby," I said, sitting on the sofa and pulling him onto my lap. "I'm so sorry I didn't hear you. Tell me about the nightmare."He snuggled against my chest. "There were these bad people, and they were trying to take you away from us. And Ethan and me were calling and calling, but you couldn't hear us.""That does sound scary," I said, stroking his hair. "But dreams aren't real, sweetheart. They're just our brains making up stories while we sleep. I would never, ever let anyone take me away from you and Ethan.""Promise?" His voice was muffled against my pajama top."I promise with all my heart."His

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 298 What Gentlemen do

    Mia's POV"Get in the car," I said to my sons."Can we get Gas first?" Alexander bounced on his toes. "He's probably lonely at home.""And dogs need fresh air too," Ethan added. "It's important for their mental health."Despite everything, I found myself smiling at Ethan's concern for our dog's psychological well-being. "Fine. We'll get Gas.""Maybe we could drive to the ocean!" Alexander exclaimed. "I want to see if the water really goes on forever like in the pictures.""It doesn't go on forever," Ethan corrected with four-year-old authority. "It goes around the whole world and then comes back to where it started. That's called the water cycle.""But how do you know it comes back?" Alexander challenged. "What if it just keeps going and going until it falls off the edge?""There is no edge, Alexander. The Earth is round.""Prove it."I listened to their debate with half my attention while navigating through Manhattan traffic.Gas greeted us at the apartment door with his usual enthus

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 297 Mum, are you alcohol poisoned?

    Mia's POVI woke up with the distinct feeling that something was watching me.My head felt like it had been stuffed with cotton and then hammered by a construction crew. Every muscle in my body ached, and my mouth tasted like I'd been chewing on gym socks.When I finally managed to pry my eyes open, I found Ethan and Alexander staring at me from the head of my bed.Both boys had their little brows furrowed. They were sitting cross-legged on my comforter.Ethan leaned closer to me, his dark eyes studying my face with the intensity of a tiny doctor. "Mum, are you alcohol poisoned?"Alexander clearly agreed with his brother's assessment, nodding solemnly. "You smell funny. Like the bottles grandma hides in the back of the cabinet."Their four little hands were gripping mine tightly, their small fingers warm and slightly sticky in that way children's hands always seemed to be. Even Gas was there, panting nervously at the foot of the bed, apparently disliking the whiskey smell wafting from
